Suspension air springs are utilized to provide good ground vehicle ride characteristics. However, for vehicle applications that require significant amounts of vertical articulation, i.e. have significant travel between jounce and rebound positions, traditional air springs do not always operate effectively. When there is significant vertical articulation, the air springs require additional assistance to enable them to articulate properly. If this assistance is not provided, air spring angles and offsets as measured from a top of the air spring to the bottom of the air spring could be excessive. This could result in premature wear of air spring components, which in turn adversely affects the life of the air spring.
